Also a fly-half, Billy represented England U18s and England U20s and made his first team debut as a replacement in an LV= Cup fixture at London Irish in February 2012, before making his Aviva Premiership debut against Worcester Warriors in May 2014.

Part of the 2013 winning JP Morgan Premiership Sevens squad and a 2014 Junior World Champion.

The 2014/15 season was a really impressive one for Billy, seeing him make 20 appearances for the first team, scoring twice in the process, adding 38 points from the tee.

He continued to look good last season, whether at fly-half or occasionally full-back, but his season was ended in March by a knee injury.

Gloucester Rugby can today confirm that fly half Billy Burns has agreed terms on a new deal with the Cherry and Whites extending his current contract which was due to expire at the end of the current season.
